      Not to mention the veganism which is also closely related to rejecting fascism.

      I mean…

      Technically a vegan did shoot hitler in the head that lead to the end of WW2…

      But that’s a weird way to say hitler was a vegan.

          Near the end of his life, Adolf Hitler (1889–1945) followed a vegetarian diet. It is not clear when or why he adopted it, since some accounts of his dietary habits prior to the Second World War indicate that he consumed meat as late as 1937. In 1938, Hitler’s doctors put him on a meat-free diet, and his public image as a vegetarian was fostered; from 1942, he self-identified as a vegetarian.

            This does not contradict what I said? Vegetarians and vegans are not the same thing. Vegans do not eat eggs or dairy (or honey or any other product derived from animals). Vegetarians have no such restriction, they just don’t eat meat.

              Not every response to a comment is an argument. This one looks like it was providing some color and additional detail to your comment. Calm down.

              Do you have any idea what they meant by:

              Not to mention the veganism which is also closely related to rejecting fascism.

              Then?

              Because dietary restrictions is not an effective way to fight fascism.

              And I don’t want to get in a pedantic argument about modern terms applied to 80 years ago. Although it seems that’s what you really want to do

      it’s gives me hope to see this. i made a career change recently from one that’s so utterly dominated by libertarians like this meme that it’s costed me jobs and inflicted trauma upon my psyche.

      i’ve also been trying to drop the carnist behavior that i learned as a child; and also for health & weight loss goals; and learning that someone with a high profile that’s familiar to me, has done it successfully is helpful; thanks for sharing this.

        Hey, you got this. Meatlessness is a difficult switch but once you get recipes and habits built up it gets easier. At this point meat doesn’t smell like food to me and while there are things I miss, it’s not like I worried it would be when I started

      Didn’t know he was vegan. Weren’t they both guests at the chefs table on Hell’s Kitchen recently? Do they make anything vegan on that show?

      IMO petrochemical textiles are a way bigger moral and existential problem than wool or even leather, so while there are many genuine concerns with the livestock industry I cannot support “full” veganism. We might get there eventually with biodegradable plastics but we aren’t there now.
